Microsoft is launching a $100,000 Killer Instinct tour

Fighting video game gamers got a reward to contend in Killer Instinct on Tuesday.

One hundred thousand rewards, to be precise.

Microsoft will introduce a Killer Instinct trip that will include both offline and online competitors and will provide an overall reward swimming pool of $100,000, the business revealed on Tuesday throughout its E3 stream.

The Ultra Tour will consist of the previously-announced Killer InstinctWorld Cup, which just recently started its 2nd weather. The World Cup started as a fan-created competition series arranged by San Antonio-based Ultra Arcade. Microsoft ended up being a main sponsor of the World Cup midway through its very first weather.

Ultra Arcade was pointed out as one of 3 partners for the trip called by Killer Instinct neighborhood supervisor Rukari Austin. The other 2 were Evo , which will host exactly what will probably be the biggest offline Killer Instinct competition of the year in July, and FaceIt , an online competition and matchmaking platform.

FaceIt might contribute in the competition series’ online element, although the World Cup currently has 2 online certifying competition series; 8-Bit Beatdown and the Killer Instinct Pro League.

No other information were provided at the time of the statement. Austin specified that more details would be exposed this summertime.

Although not verified by either World Cup organizers or Microsoft, it’s most likely that the Ultra Tour champion will be kept in March at the Tobin Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Tobin Center was formerly revealed as the host of both the World Cup last and the corresponding Killer Instinct Convention.

The Ultra Tour statement was among 2 huge statements for the video game throughout E3. Microsoft formerly launched General RAAM from the Gears of War series as a playable character. RAMM is the 3rd visitor character in the online game, following Rash from Battletoads and Arbiter from the Halo series.

The next offline certifying occasion will be held at CEO in Orlando, Fla. starting on June 24.
